One of my consistent life goals over the past several years has been to find ways to simplify my daily life. I like to believe I've made good progress on this by keeping my responsibilities to an absolute minimum and saying no to everything that is either non-essential or non-entertaining. Other than keeping good health, … Continue reading Simplify your life: saying no to subscriptions
Review: $4 Old Navy Flip Flops
I'm normally not a fan of flip flops since my Chaco sandals are much more comfortable and durable, but on my recent snowboarding trip to the Colorado mountains, I bought a pair of cheap flip flops to wear indoors. One of my best friends lives in Denver with his dog, so part of the week … Continue reading Review: $4 Old Navy Flip Flops
Off to Colorado!
No new posts this week since I'll be spending the week in the mountains playing in the snow. I never travel with my computer, and writing lengthy amounts on a phone is a pain in the ass, so I'll be back once my vacation is over. Happy winter and have a good week!
Packing for a winter snowboarding trip
Not long from now, I'll be heading out to the Colorado mountains with my snowboard and some warm clothes to play in the snow for a little while.

Our country is unique in that we can only visit under certain specific requirements, which are … Continue reading Review: Friendly Planet Authentic Havana tour
Things I appreciate about home
One of the biggest things in life that I appreciate the more I travel is how great we have it in the United States (or substitute your own developed home country here). Though I enjoy visiting other cultures, there's always a sense of comfort I get whenever I return back home after hanging out in … Continue reading Things I appreciate about home

FaceTiming pets when you’re away
Whenever Mrs. Lite and I are away from the house for more than a week at a time, our cat Ginger tends to get lonely and a little sad. We have a pet sitter who comes by the house regularly to check in on her, but it still takes the kitty a couple of days … Continue reading FaceTiming pets when you’re away
